When users connect, they're able to list the top level directory, but if they try to navigate to any subfolders, they get "550 access denied"?

  Re: ftp permssions on subdirectories Reply Contact jeff@zina.com: NTFS permissions, IIS user permissions. Jeff You are a man of few words, Jeff <g> Please allow me to clarify...the website has regular anonymous permissions on the subdirectories, and they can be navigated by the IUSR in a browser. All I did was install ftp on the website with basic authentication selected and anonymous disallowed. So if you connect with an FTP client with a valid user/password, you can list the top-level directory, but that fails on any subdirectory. This is an NTFS permissions issue, yes? I'm not sure I understand, when basic auth is selected, which account FTP is using to access the website? Is it the Network Service or the user account? And why wouldn't the ACLs propagate to the website as a whole when FTP is installed?

  Re: ftp permssions on subdirectories Reply Contact Enable auditing on object access or run filemon (process monitor) to see what is being denied.  If the 'root' folder security hasn't been pushed down to sub-folders, then the 550 denied would make sense.  This post has links to procmon and how to enable auditing. http://weblogs.asp.net/steveschofield/archive/2008/03/07/detecting-permission-issues-using-auditing-and-process-monitor.aspx Steve Schofield Windows Server MVP - IIS MCTS - Windows Hosting http://weblogs.asp.net/steveschofield http://www.iislogs.com http://www.orcsweb.com/ Managed Hosting Solutions #1 in Service and Support
